Chapter 236: Thank you again, Bandai
North America, Newyo State.
The city of Rochester, where Kodak's headquarters is located.
Under the gloomy sky, the city, known as the world's image center, has no human figure except for dead branches and leaves.
The streets, reflecting the dead branches and leaves of winter, look particularly bleak.
Outside the outskirts of the city, military trucks intercepted and blockaded, teams of personnel wearing biochemical protective suits were ready to go, and rescue tents produced by joint defense were endless outside the blockade area.
On the morning of January 19, North American time, the University of Rochester suddenly detected trace levels of harmful radiation.
In order to further determine the accuracy of the data, the team set up six random monitoring points in the Rochester metropolitan area, and by noon they were shocked to find that the radiation level was rising at a rate of 11 times per hour.
At 1 p.m. on the 19th, Kodak's internal engineers confirmed that the reactor located in the basement of Kodak's headquarters was out of control due to design defects in the control rods, and the condensate suddenly solidified, causing major problems in the cooling system.
Half an hour later, experts found that the reactor, which resembles the size of a refrigerator and contains 1.5 kilograms of enriched uranium, would cease to exist in Rochester and become a high-radiation zone within a radius of 70 kilometers.
Shocked by the emergency notice, the citizens of Rochester questioned the news.
How is it possible for Kodak to have a reactor?
Soon, the answer was given, telling that from the 70s, Kodak had been conducting research on radiographs and, through relations, had obtained authorization to build reactors with the aim of improving cameras and film.
More than 200,000 citizens of Rochester, after learning about the inside situation, saw the arrival of the National Guard, the arrival of representatives of the North American military department, and the arrival of biochemical experts......
Immediately panicked.
By this time, there was no one to protest, some were just fleeing.
3 p.m. on the 19th.
Biochemical experts and nuclear engineering professionals have revealed that they are helpless against the reactor that is about to melt and that a research cycle is needed.
At 3:10, representatives of the National Guard and the North American Military Department evacuated the scene......
This means that Rochester really has the potential to become history and seriously affect the state of Newyo.
It also means that Kodak will face the worst fines and compensation problems in history.
On the evening of the 19th, Kodak shareholders filed for bankruptcy overnight in the face of the rapidly shrinking delivery market and the amount of compensation they don't know.
In the early morning of the 20th, North American biochemical experts and nuclear professional engineers tried many times, such as replacing the control rods, slowing down the reaction speed, and attenuating nuclear materials in advance...... All because of various limitations, the attempt failed.
At 3 a.m. on the 20th, the expert group withdrew.
Rochester became a no-go zone.
The state of Newyo went into a state of wartime control.
At 8 a.m. on the 20th, TEP engineers proposed a plan to inject boric acid water to reduce the reaction speed, and then destroy the fuel rods with the help of armed robots.
It's just that the area where the fuel rod is located, surrounded by a concrete wall more than ten meters thick, if the robot is used to excavate, plus the destruction of the fuel rod, the implementation process of the program is very slow, it may last 10~15 days, this time period, the radiation value increases 11 times per hour, and after 10 days, it will reach one-third of the central area of Chenobyl, which is extremely harmful to the physical and mental health of 50 construction workers, and requires a huge amount of medical security. ….
And it is necessary to isolate the nuclear radiation, build a protective zone with a radius of at least 10 kilometers, avoid operational failures, blasting, and 50 construction workers need death compensation.
North American nuclear engineers did not agree on the feasibility of this option.
But Xiaobu, who had just become the governor, including the state of Niuyo, did not want something more terrible to happen, and finally ordered Kodak to pay 2 billion US dollars in emergency rescue costs, and authorized United Defense to lead the operation.
At 11 a.m. on the 20th, the TEP Emergency Rescue Team took over Rochester, and the Joint Defense Nuclear Engineering Dismantling Team entered, and TEP Chairman James personally went into battle......
However, the relevant news was blocked, and even the previous reports were deleted.
In the words of Xiaobu: Rochester is not the next Cherobyl, and in the same way, it cannot be a scandal for us!
Thereupon.
On the 21st, Kodak's power bank, the news of bankruptcy, spread all over the world.
With the hot sales of digital products, the Kodak film market is already facing serious challenges, and now the hot-selling power bank suddenly has a digital photo function, and the film market is further sluggish, and it seems that it is not surprising that Kodak went bankrupt.
As for why Canon and Nikon were not affected?
The power bank is added to the camera just for entertainment and convenience, how can it compare to a professional camera?
Moreover, Canon and Nikon have long entered the digital field.
Experts in North America and Wajima are at the head of the analysis.
If Xu Fei hadn't known the inside story, he would have almost believed it.
Truth be told, at first, the dog found out that there was a reactor at Kodak's headquarters, which also frightened him.
Kodak is not a power station, nor is it a research institute for the nuclear industry, in an unattended basement, locked with a reactor that resembles a refrigerator, still on, if known to Harden......
"The more than 200,000 citizens of Rochester should be grateful to me."
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I should be Xu Buddha now."
Xu Fei pondered for a moment and picked up a list.
When it comes to Kodak, perhaps most people think of film.
In fact, Kodak also has a main business: OLED, and is the inventor of OLED, with the world's most professional OLED screen controller R&D team and color tuning engineers.
It's just that OLED is expensive now and cannot be put into commercial use, otherwise Kodak is very likely to reverse the film defeat and become the world's top screen panel manufacturer. (Later, the technology and laboratory were packaged and sold to Samsung, and Samsung's screen became the world's top.) )
It stands to reason that OLED uses an organic film to emit light and mix to form a color.
Our own XLED is to control the light on and off to form the color, and there is a big difference in technology and principle between the two.
But those who are engaged in cameras and film mainly play color matching, and also study light-emitting diodes, and the transition from OLED to XLED is not a problem at all.
Therefore, if you bring Kodak's OLED research team over, you don't need to worry about what screen panels, what controllers, and what color adjustments you will have in the future......
And RGB Co., Ltd.'s acquisition of Sega, game hardware and software production, is not a problem.
"The next focus is to improve XLED, increase the shipment of power banks, 3 and 4, and then make the product the best."
"As for other products......
Xu Fei also thought about launching color screen electronic watches, color screen video doorbells, outdoor LEDs and so on. ….
However, the military division suggested: rain and dew are evenly wet, and continue to expand the influence of its own brand.
In other words, support related enterprises, and only engage in XLED panels, including the supply of mobile phone screens and screens.
When only their own LED panels are made in the world, they are the most profitable ones.
At that time, who dares to say that we have a monopoly, we will directly stop production, so that global electronic product manufacturers have no screens available.
In addition, its own brand image is 'machinery,,If the business volume of electronic products exceeds mechanical products,Machinery enthusiasts who have been gathered in the early stage are very likely to be lost。
Therefore, in addition to ensuring the shipment of existing electronic products, it is also necessary to study and study the 'flywheel battery', and launch 'pure mechanical toys,'.
The principle of the battery is very simple, the internal vacuum is then loaded with a motor made of carbon fiber material.
When charging, the external current drives the motor to accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again, so that it is like a perpetual motion machine, always running at high speed, and when the speed reaches a certain value, the charging ends.
When discharging, the internal motor becomes a generator that outputs current to the outside until the kinetic energy is exhausted, and then recharges.
Its energy utilization rate is as high as 95%, the smallest type of the same power, and it is not warm
degree limit, nor any pollution.
The disadvantage is that once fully charged, the internal motor cannot be stopped until the power is exhausted, regardless of whether the consumer uses it or not.
And due to the limitation of the principle, it can only be made into a cylindrical shape, and cannot be made into a flat shape.
But when disaster strikes, if the home planet is no longer habitable, this is currently the only power storage device that is suitable for long-term survival in space.
For example, if solar energy cannot supply the entire space station, we will deploy a few more solar sails, store the electrical energy in the flywheel battery, and then transport it back to the space station, so as to ensure the survival needs of 1.3 billion people.
Of course, this is still a long way off, and the main task at the moment is to make the finished product.
And the flywheel battery is not produced by the base, and there is no high-tech 'energy utilization rate increased by 20%, and it is unknown whether the finished product can replace the supercapacitor that cannot store electricity, and then let consumers replace the battery again.
Xu Fei thought about it for a long time, and distributed the rare earths transferred by the Daochuan Chamber of Commerce to various laboratories.
Then check the intelligence about Hazara.
After Christmas, perhaps Raymond sensed the imminent outbreak of the Yinrakr War and stepped up his support for the Haza.
Not only did it provide more special 80 heavy tanks, but also gave away a large number of field runs and ground-to-ground ...... produced by woolly bears
The Inagawa Chamber of Commerce and the Wajima Self-Defense Force have been beaten to the point of suspicion, and six troop increases have been carried out.
Now the two sides are fighting almost every day, and the number of casualties is rising.
In order to cover up the casualties, the Hadza captured the Tully ruthless people everywhere to serve as corpses, and they were also resisted and counterattacked by the other side.
As a result, the situation in the Hazara coalfield has evolved into:
The Hadza in the west, the Self-Defense Forces in the middle, and the Tali ruthlesss in the east.
History is indeed always strikingly similar.
Before, it was the Iron Sheet, Morgan, and Hadza, and there was a three-way scuffle.
Xu Fei thought about it for a while, feeling that Hazara had nothing to do with his family, so he simply looked at the next piece of information.
Bandai is finally selling new products on the shelves.
………
Wajima, Tokyo, Bandai Namco headquarters. ….
President Takega Takasu sat in the corner of the conference room, looking at the demo board in front of him and the programmer who was explaining, and was a little distracted for a while.
The Iron Sheet Company is not a small business, and even if the losses are serious, it still does not go bankrupt.
And with the Three Kingdoms of Machinery and the Kirov Airship, two super lucrative industries, it is only a matter of time before they regain their strength.
Bandai's courage to compete with an entity of this level comes from the support of the North American House of Representatives, North American Wall Street, and large and small toy manufacturers on Washima, as well as the 30 billion US dollars in cash raised.
Some of these groups want to suppress the iron company and demand money.
Some hope to bring down the iron company and ensure the stability of the financial market.
Some hope to kill the tin company and regain the toy market.
In short, to each according to his needs.
It stands to reason that with the support of North America, in the name of anti-monopoly investigation, the sales of mechanical toys will be suspended, and the half-dead iron company will bow its head.
Unexpectedly, the mobile power supply, which had little market demand, was forced to be played by the other party.
First, we replaced the mini supercapacitors with the electric machinery Mikuni and persuaded RGB Co., Ltd. to adopt the same plan.
There is no demand, creating demand, and the sales of mobile power have skyrocketed.
With the demand, add the game console program, use bundled sales, destroy the pet machine market in one fell swoop, and use the equipment configuration to improve the playability of the game, and raise the game environment at this stage by several steps.
Just like Nintendo squeezing toothpaste, preparing to slowly update the GBA, forced to replace the TFT-D screen, replace larger memory, graphics card, memory card, and strengthen the fineness of the loss map and character stickers, otherwise it will be put together with the power bank, and the goods will have to be thrown away, and it will completely become an ultra-low-end game console that does not get started.
And when it comes to gaming......
Bandai has been in the field of video games since the 80s, and after more than 20 years of development, it has also been cultivated
A large number of professionals.
With their own eyes, the heavy mechanics of the Iron Sheet Company are full of bugs.
For example, if the character's movement does not match the map environment, and a bunch of mosaics appear from time to time, it means that the resource pack does not match the game engine, or there is a problem with the memory card.
For example, the character's release skill is not synchronized with the character's action, and even the release skill appears, and the character's feet do not move, but the whole is displaced by several grids.
For example, the architectural model does not have smoothness, and there are often problems such as 'glass walls,' 'molding,' 'getting stuck somewhere'.
But the flaws are not hidden.
The design concept of this game is ahead of its time.
It can even be said that it points a clear path for the current single-player game.
Interact with N for mini-games, change the way you open the box and dig around with a shovel, trigger hidden achievements with items and time, and have a very decompressing real-time combat brush......
Any one of these can pique the player's curiosity, and with the huge resource pack, the player will be immersed and entertained.
Including him, the president of Bandai, even played for a day and a night.
In addition, the heavy mechanic has also added a cultivation system, creating mechanical devices through synthesis, creating mecha-like vehicles, and it is said that the number of models is ten times that of the Three Kingdoms of Machines and the Quack Dynasty, in addition to automobiles, agricultural machinery, motorcycles, etc., which is simply invincible. ….
At least at present, there is no stand-alone game on the market that can be compared to it, including the end.
The most important thing is that there is a market demand, the product itself is not bad, and the high production capacity is scary, plus the terrible transportation capacity of Kirov......
For example:
The other party's new product will be off the assembly line tonight, and it will be available for sale in Berlin at noon tomorrow.
If you want to ship your new products to Europe, it will take at least half a month.
In commercial confrontation, time is the sharpest weapon.
Taksu Takega thought that it could not be delayed any longer, clapped his hands, and stopped the programmer's explanation: "Ladies and gentlemen, our situation is very critical, if we want to retain the video game market, we can no longer stay in the PPT stage, we must come up with a new product and put it on the shelves as soon as possible."
"However, president, not to mention game consoles, only mobile power banks, Sony still hasn't given us a suitable battery purchase price."
"Why?"
"Lithium polymer batteries, although they can change shape, make them flat, and even make special-shaped batteries, but Sony's technology in this regard, not to mention compared to the iron company, even Beatty is not comparable, they recommend the use of 18650 lithium battery solution."
"What about purchasing lithium polymer batteries from Villati?"
"Beati signed a contract with the iron company, and the A-version of the power bank without a screen is foundry, and according to the provisions of the agreement, it cannot cooperate with us, otherwise it will face liquidated damages of more than 7 billion US dollars."
"Then use the 18650 plan."
"In this way, with the addition of the case and game console, the thickness of our power bank may be twice that of the A version of the power bank, reaching 3.
"Didn't Sony say there are supercapacitors?"
"They said there was at first, and then... Let's buy off the engineers in the other party's laboratory, it is said that Sony's supercapacitors come from General Electric, and GE's supercapacitors were dismantled from Dahongqi and used to study the Hangmu catapult, but GE couldn't do it, so it registered a patent in North America and then transferred it to Sony for research."
Takasu Takega was silent for a moment, "Since the patent for the supercapacitor is in the hands of General Electric, if the A version of the power bank is sold in North America, does the Iron Sheet Company need to pay the patent fee to General Electric?"
"GE is in communication with the Iron Sheet Company, and they intend to exchange the patent for the supercapacitor in exchange for a guarantee that 'Renny Profy will not be shorted in GE shares.'"
This is a confession.
Takasu Takega didn't know how to speak for a while.
The person in charge of the Bandai Namco-Power Bank project explained, "With the advent of supercapacitors, conventional dry batteries are facing a severe test, and Romney has prepared the funds to target GE in the civilian market
At this time, the Yin Lakrypton war is about to start, and Wall Street's energy is all on oil stocks and gold stocks, and there is no time to pay attention to leading technology stocks and technology concept stocks."
"Let's not forget that, let's talk about the game console."
"Nintendo's plan is to use the same configuration as the A version of the power bank, but the time is too short for us to make games of the same quality and concept, so Nintendo intends to win by volume and launch an N-in-1 device.
In other words, all you need on one device and no need to change cards can experience all the games that we and Nintendo already have. However, there are too many games, and it is impossible to copy them all to the memory card, so an operating system is needed, so that you can install which game you want to play. ….
Once we have an operating system, Nintendo and we can jointly build a game platform, and when the time comes, we can form a more standardized application market with a huge player base, and then keep Tin Sheet out of the market, and we will win."
Takasu Takega thought for a moment, "How long will it take to make a prototype?"
"Based on the GBA for the transformation, and then add 18650 batteries, a week is enough."
"So, ladies and gentlemen, our main task now is to improve the Gundam series of handheld games, and with the design concept of the Heavy Mechanic as a reference, I believe that our work will become the main game of the BGA, and before the power bank lands in Wajima, we will win the Wajima market and counterattack Europe and the United States!"
………
The Gundam series of games launched by Bandai Namco and Nintendo broke away from the design concept of previous pixel games, and was more inclined to RPG role-playing, and then added the gameplay of raising a daughter, raising a son, raising a pet, and even raising a wife.
Then take the opportunity to put model toys such as daughters, sons, pets, and wives on the shelves, as well as matching decorations and scene sand tables.
At the same time, in the game console, the 18650 battery module is added, equipped with lighting, and taking pictures.
As well as the launch of a kind of 'big head sticker,You can shoot the whole body of the sales cabinet,The internal program comes with a variety of special effects,Meet the needs of multiple people to shoot,And you can print out the photos in the game console,Very convenient,The cost is also very low。
"It's a long-established toy manufacturer."
Xu Fei took out his A3 power bank with photo and video functions.
The so-called camera uses one of the two eyes of the horror robot to reproduce the scene seen in front of it into a magnet piece, and then uses a compiler to translate the electromagnetic spectrum into 0101001 and other source codes, and store them in the memory card.
Then, through another compiler, the code is generated, the resources are extracted, and the scene is reassembled.
If you view the captured scene through the screen of the power bank, the data packet will pass through the third compiler to compose a digital photo, which will be transmitted to the image processing engine.
It can be said that this is a kind of composite photo.
Whether the composite photo looks good or not depends on the compiler and the image display controller.
Because Kodak held the film and did not let go, and did not step into the digital field, the compilation function of its own digital camera is definitely not as good as that of Canon and Nikon, and there is no zoom, and other settings.
As a result, TEP Computer Services, together with Kodak screen tuners, added automatic color correction and light filling to the image display module of the digital camera.
The eyebrows are too thick, let's deepen;
The face is too yellow, let's fill the light;
The skin is too rough, let's blur it......
In short, no matter how handsome and ugly, as long as we use the camera of our power bank, Guan Gong will become Diao Chan, and Diao Chan will become a fairy.
As for printing it out.
Sorry, that might not be you.
Therefore, on the back of the power bank device, there is a metal inscription: This device is only for entertainment.
Therefore, Bandai's big head sticker can't beat his own family.
Furthermore.
The A3 version of the power bank interface adopts a U port at one end and a T-shaped 5-pin design independently developed by itself at the other end, which can be charged, anti-leakage, data transmission and anti-counterfeiting.
And the power bank launched by Bandai, if you want to give it to the iron man
To charge toys from the company and RGB, consumers must buy their own or RGB power cords. ….
A fast charging cable costs 5 cents and costs 39 US dollars......
Bandai sells a power bank, as long as the customer who buys it has an electric toy, it is equivalent to bringing 38.9 US dollars in profit to his own family.
"Thank you again, Bandai!"
Xu Fei closed the folder and finished the day's work.
Flip through the bowl and look at the mechanical watch, half past four in the afternoon.
Today, Chinese New Year's Eve, at 6 p.m., Osawa will have the largest fireworks feast ever.
At that time, the salute will be fired, the lights in the factory will be bright, the iron tree and silver flowers will rotate around Daze three times, and the central area will release the fireworks bomb for a full hour.
It's a pity that the Spring Festival Gala is not set up in the industrial park.
Otherwise, they can also get Kirov over, release a large number of decoy bombs in the air, and once 'fly down 3,000 feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way will fall for nine days, and give a New Year's greeting to the fathers and villagers of the whole country.
Xu Fei thought of New Year's greetings, and while walking out of the office, he took out his mobile phone and contacted his immediate superior.
"Crooked, uncle, Happy New Year!"
Then contact the grandfather of the fourth secretary.
"Crooked? Happy Chinese New Year, Uncle Sun!"
Contact ...... after that
Unfortunately, the leaders have not been very happy this year.
Without it, as more and more foreign companies move into Daze, the superiors get more and more good things through Director Xu.
Grizzly Bear Chariot, Rhino Chariot, Radar Module, Terror Robot Joint Technology, Remote Control Tank Control Technology, Kirov Structure Detailed Explanation, Various High-tech Materials......
Oh my God, is the West so awesome?
Sorry or not, Xu Fei doesn't know, anyway, in the past six months, all research institutions have gone crazy to engage in research, and the superiors have also worked hard to make money.
Overall, the atmosphere was nice.
When Xu Fei returned home, Lao Xu, Da Ma, Lao Huang, and the three old men were making dumplings.
As for where the secretary went?
It's all on holiday.
Xu Fei looked at the pile of strange-shaped buns on the dining table, "What, let's order takeout, right?" I didn't get a promotion or a raise this year."
Lao Xu waved his hand, "It's okay, I've had good luck this year."
Can you have today, and there are no points in your heart?
Xu Fei picked up the village chief's exclusive loudspeaker, "What, tonight the village chief has a treat, have a reunion dinner, let's go to the big canteen for dinner, remember to bring their own meals, no one in the canteen cooks."
Long.
Five o'clock in the afternoon, before the fireworks begin.
Xu Fei just got to the dining table of Erya's house and pulled a few chicken nuggets.
Xu Sheng's wife suddenly spoke, "Village chief, my family hasn't come back for four years."
"Aang!"
"I didn't call this year."
"Huh?"
"I'm worried about what's going on."
"Why didn't you say it earlier? I haven't gotten back to the field yet, and I can't die outside!"
Lots of cows
